My interest
in dogs has existed for as long as I can remember. My first, own dog was
an English Cocker Spaniel, born in 1971; he was a true sweetheart. He
was followed by a Red Irish Setter, then a Dalmatian, later on
Bullterriers and in the early eighties Longhair Dachshunds (all three
FCI sizes) came into the picture. This was when Swede Sun’s Kennel was
founded.

The realisation soon dawned that
something important was amiss... it was of course the
Basset Hounds! The
first Basset Hound was welcomed to Swede Sun’s in 1986 and from then on
I was hooked...completely addicted to this unique breed!

Swede Sun’s Kennel produced an
innumerable number of BOB winners, Hound Group winners and Best in Show
winners from those beautiful little longhaired fellows. Apart from their
great achievements in the breed ring, the Dachshunds earned 59 Breeder
Group Honour Prize awards. Over the years these little ones brought so
much fun and joy to the ring; one can only lovingly treasure the good
memories.

In 1997 Swede Sun’s Kennel was
awarded the Merit Gold Medal from the Swedish Dachshund Club for its meritorious contribution towards
the breeding of top quality Longhair Dachshunds and improving the breed.

Nowadays Swede Sun's kennel just
breeds
Basset Hounds. Together with all the Bassets at the kennel
lives as well Bosse's
gundogs, kennel
Wingmark's.

The kennel has so far produced
65
Basset Hound litters
and I am still eager to further refine and improve the breed. My
curiosity regarding this wonderful breed is still alive and well and it keeps me going.

My purpose
is not only to breed Basset Hounds of distinguished breed type that are
anatomically correct
with excellent and free movement, but also, and most of all hounds with
wonderful temperaments and sound health: all this to make them suitable
as tracking hounds, for the challenges in the show ring and of course as
beloved family members.

To be able
to reach this I have tried to find all over the world the best possible
blood-lines which then have been incorporated to the Basset Hounds in my
kennel.

Those lines has given Swede
Sun's Kennelthe possibility to bred
numerous
Champions “all around the world”, 11 World-Winners, 2
BOB- and 1 BOS-winner at
Crufts/UK, BOB/BOS-winners at the
Hound Show/UK
and all other different kind of titles. Also so many CC/CAC/CACIB-winners,
BOB-winners, Group-winners and Best in Show winners so I even have lost
the count of them. So
far there are 105 Champions of Basset Hounds and more then 400Breeder Group Honour Prize
awards. Also innumerable Progeny Groups
has been awarded with Honour Prizes.

It has been exported 113 Swede Sun's bassets to 33 different countries. Here you find more
INFOabout the kennel's
conquests.

In 2002 Swede Sun’s Kennel was
awarded the Merit Bronze Medal from the Swedish Basset Hound Society for
its meritorious breeding of top quality Basset Hounds. The year 2005 it
was followed by the Merit Silver Medal.
The highest award, the Merit Gold Medal was awarded to Swede Sun’s
Kennel in the year 2009.

As a continuation of my interest
in dogs I got myself a ring steward license and also a complete hunting
examination.

Shortly after this I qualified
as an authorized FCI showjudge as well. Further down this page you can
see the list of the breeds which I’m qualified, by the FCI system, to
award CC/CAC, and judge at Championship Show level.
There you can also see some photos from different judging appointments
around the world.
